LOFT

OpenFlow Laboratory

The LOFT laboratory consists of a set of equipment from different manufacturers and a server that enables creation of virtual machines and SDN controllers to be used during the experiments.

Located at our Internet Data Center (IDC) in Brasilia, the virtual laboratory enables us to test and approve OpenFlow protocol-based equipment and controllers freely and independently, and to evaluate the performance of the network using this technology.

Once the request is approved, the resources are allocated and reserved within the requested period. The user can even specify the operating system of the machines to be created in the service. The tools adopted in the experiments are freely chosen by the researcher, who may also request assistance from the support team for installation and setup of the experiment environments.
